Working together as people, we can solve virtually any challenge. Look at our own American cities, and the challenges of youth unrest, lack of meaningful employment and even violence. By rolling up our sleeves, we can solve these problems. This is where the Science of Inner Strength is so important, as it helps people develop an appropriate role. If we merely believe that all we have to do is shout our own opinion at the top of our lungs, without being appropriate, respect and responsive, then we are ineffective.

Today, in a last burst, I founded the concept of “firm forgiveness.” Firm meaning that it is our job as responsible leaders to pave a way towards a calm and peaceful society, filled with appropriate behavior, and holding those who act out accountable. Forgiving, in terms of the aim being education and setting appropriate limits and not pushing the full force of punishment on miscreant behavior.

Let’s begin with the sense that couples often are in a position, perhaps it is changing, but at a basically high school level of break-up in an emotional sense. Maybe now, people are slightly more attuned; yet nothing in the world can prepare a person for the pressure once the divorce system kicks in. There are lawyers, and court officers, and police and judges, and psychologists; ALL often with the fierce force of gravity that seeks to pound a person into submission on some level. Most of us surely would condemn any and all instances of domestic violence. Yet, we cannot treat every familial break-up like that form of violence is the norm. Rather the opposite. Most people need a caring and understanding approach.

So enjoy the ride; take in the day, above all else at times, trust the process. Trusting the process, implies that you have a process in the first place. That is where the Science of Inner Strength, and the Science of Inner Strength Honor come into play. In these most challenging times, it is vital to learn the secrets and elements of resiliency and the movement towards Prosperity and Purpose. Both elements are needed; we get the interest in making money, it must be combined with the commitment to positive purpose. The world needs both.

It gets to the emptiness inside, which is why the Science of Inner Strength, with respect to its finding the spiritual light within us is such an antidote to animus itself. Once people feel a sense of worth, purpose, even spiritual center within them; they then become much less likely to act in hurtful and distressful ways. We have a lot of hurt people these days, who for the most part do not know it.

With no aspersions, we must help people heal and learn goodness.

While I embrace change and its advancements so much; I am also a proponent of not throwing out the baby for the bathwater. Human culture has much to improve upon; and yet, we must also bear in mind ALL of the progress that has occurred, and function with a sense of appreciation for that which has come before us. Substantial change does not mean throwing out, everything that has come before. It is a matter of adapting the social sensitivity and emotional empathy that is needed for all human beings, while upholding our collective determination and destiny that has preceded us!

Those who pose a false choice are acting Moronic.

One of the messages learned and to share is that minor indifferences or hurtful behavior can add up, if and when something coalesces those type of events, all into one place. That is why, it is incumbent on the human condition as much as we can to act in caring and appropriate ways. It is also vital for people to make sure that they are making up their own minds on things, and not being influenced by a negative group process.

I was called to see true evil, and to offer a light in an equal and opposite direction.

This conversation served me well on my own business rounds a little later today. It seems that on occasion, people take my basic kindness as a weakness. I needed to appropriately assert myself today. It is not always easy, it can be uncomfortable, but well worth our dignity.

So off I went, and it was pure grit, I suppose, as it was hot; and as I say, perhaps I have been working too hard. Still in retrospect; it was like a breeze, in completing a number of the tasks that beckoned. One intense critic, used the phrase “happy and productive.” There is little or no doubt that I was in a happy and productive zone.
